Oni opened her eyes slowly and it took her some time to focus. A rhythmic beeping sound was soothing and alarming at the same time. She observed that she is in an unfamiliar room and then her gaze met Michael's.
The moment Michael saw that she is awake, he moved from the chair and sat on the edge of her bed.
Oni smiled, happy that horrible flashes from her mind are just a bad dream. And they must be a dream because if they are not, she would be in pain, tied up to a chair.
A second later Oni observed that Michael's face is bruised up and that his gaze is full of worry and deep sadness.
